NTP multicast mode configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 80, LB B functions as the NTP server for multiple devices on different network
segments and synchronizes the time among multiple devices.
• LB B's local clock is to be used as a reference source, with the stratum level 2.
• LB B operates in multicast server mode and sends multicast messages from GigabitEthernet 0/1.
• LB A and LB C operate in multicast client mode and receive multicast messages through their
respective GigabitEthernet 0/1.

Configuration procedure
• Set the IP address for each interface as shown in Figure 80. (Details not shown.)
• Configure LB B:
# Specify the local clock as the reference source, with the stratum level 2.
